The Spectre-BHB mitigations were inadvertently left disabled for
Cortex-A15, due to the fact that cpu_v7_bugs_init() is not called in
that case. So fix that.

Since this patch has been merged, I am seeing a ton of messages when
booting Linux on tegra124-jetson-tk1 ...

This is significantly increasing the boot time and causing failures if
the boot takes too long.
I see that Dmitry has posted a fix for one of these cases [0], but the
above also needs to be fixed.
